Another amazing meal with Scottish ingredients and Italian flavours to celebrate the Sottish Food and Drink Fortnight.
For this recipe, I used my pesto recipe (that you can find it here).
I found this recipe on this amazing blog www.cookingclassy.com, and I changed it very very slightly.
The picture is not the best, but I couldn’t wait to taste it, and everyone was sitting at the table just waiting for me, including a nice glass of white wine (chilled Soave was just the perfect accompaniment with this dish).
So please try this recipe as I’m sure you will love it 🙂
And to finish the meal we tried the newest flavours’ ice cream from our favourite ice cream parlour in Perthshire, www.stewart-tower.co.uk
This weekend we tried 4 new flavours: doughnut, pink KitKat, kinder bueno and oreo mint, they are soooo good that we had to go back for more!
